Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

after October 7th and the Gaza Holocaust that followed I think the media can make anything work
actually I think that's the perfect example of them failing to make it work given where popular opinion on Palestine is
the media today is busted and further from controlling public opinion than it's been in a long time
Idk, it feels like they’re achieving all of their material and political goals without - or in spite of - losing public opinion (which remains split to this day)
As much as media has lost its influence on public opinion, so has public opinion detached from government and media - they can do what they want and the masses will take it
Not forever
Eh, the capitalists have a pretty dense network of chud/liberal influencers that push their talking points (like Charlie), if anything they have a tighter grip than original MSM, because the audience have parasocial relationships with them and they basically live in a different universe to anyone who doesn't watch the culture war slop.
